Is this also National Sleep Awareness Week?
1) Place an announcement in the local paper, picturing the lab and tech staff, with a brief text presenting the value of the work being done and those doing it.
2) Conduct an open house event at the sleep lab, have a management person, greet visitors and introduce tech staff (an event like "National Sleep Day").
3) Announce to the staff, the initiation of an aggressive p.r. campaign to raise awareness in the physician community and the community at large, through a multi faceted outreach program.
4) Announce to the staff, an enhanced program of inservice education and financial support for formal education aimed at registry.
Granted, all of this stuff should be going on anyway.
5) A dinner out with toasts and/or speech, hosted by the Doc or the administrator, would be entirely appropriate.
6) Designate the approximate date for an annual sleep conference, with CEU program. Call it something like, "The Annual Polysomnography Technologist Recognition Week Conference," with plenty of affirmation and a motivational keynote address.
